Yes, htpasswd is used by Apache for "Basic Authentication" (BA), but
PmWiki can use htpasswd formatted files for AuthUser authentication.
This makes no change to the Apache install, and Apache knows nothing
about it.
Conversely, if you have Apache configured with BA, you can have PmWiki
reuse the Apache htpasswd files.
